Visa Planning for a International Tour
Kelly Immigration Law managed the visa process for an international artist’s national tour, ensuring timely approvals for the entire team and a smooth, successful tour across the U.S.
"Kelly Immigration Law was a lifesaver for our tour. With tight deadlines and complex visa requirements, they handled everything flawlessly. Thanks to their expertise, our entire team was approved in time, and we were able to kick off our tour without a hitch. We couldn’t have done it without them."
The Challenge:
A renowned international artist sought to launch a national tour across the United States but faced significant hurdles in securing the necessary visas for their team, including musicians, technical crew, and management staff. The tour was scheduled to start in just a few months, leaving little time to navigate the often lengthy and complex visa application process.
Our Approach:
Understanding the urgency of the situation, Kelly Immigration Law acted swiftly. We began by mapping out the tour schedule and identifying the specific visa categories required for each team member. Given the artist's prominence and the commercial impact of the tour, we recommended applying for O and P visas, which are designed for individuals with extraordinary abilities in the arts and their essential support personnel.
We compiled an extensive portfolio that included the artist’s accolades, media coverage, and letters of support from industry leaders. Simultaneously, we coordinated with tour promoters and venues to provide the necessary documentation that demonstrated the critical role of each team member in the success of the tour.
Our team worked diligently to ensure all applications were submitted promptly and accurately. We also liaised with U.S. consulates to address any potential delays and arranged for expedited processing where possible.
The Outcome:
Thanks to our proactive and detail-oriented approach, all visas were approved well before the tour's start date. The artist and their team were able to embark on their national tour as planned, without any disruptions. Kelly Immigration Law’s expertise in talent-based immigration ensured that the artist’s vision came to life on stages across the United States, while their legal standing remained secure and compliant throughout.
Kelly Immigration Law successfully reunited a family separated for over a decade by overcoming legal obstacles and securing visas, bringing them back together in the United States.
In the realm of immigration law, few cases are as complex and emotionally charged as those involving asylum seekers. At Kelly Immigration Law, we recently had the privilege of guiding a client through this challenging process, transforming a story of persecution into one of hope and new beginnings.
